The film “The Wolf on Wall Street” was Martin Scorsese's interpretation of a memoir by Jordan Belfort, a millionaire who made it to the top with fraud at any cost. The film, as well as the book, shares precise details of Jordan Belfort's life and how he managed to cheat, lie and talk his way into millions of people. Jordan Belfort read the book The Bonfire Of The Vanities and used it, as well as Hunter S. Thompson's writing style, as inspiration to write his book, which later became the film. While the film is not directly based on Tom Wolfe's 1987 classic Bonfire of the Vanities, it shares many similarities, as well as differences, with the autobiography. Without understanding the history of the two stories, it is not very clear how they appear. they all intertwine so easily. The Bonfire Of The Vanities was, in fact, written by Tom Wolfe in 1987, and is written as a message from Tom to the public to show his interpretation of 1980s New York. The literary technique he used to write the novel was that of a journalist, written so well that it could entice the audience and push them to continue reading. In his writings Tom tells the story of Sherman McCoy who at the beginning of the story is defined as "the master of the universe", an image that is also shown in the film "The Wolf On Wall Street". This film is based on Jordan Belfort's life story that he shared with the public in his memoir, which shares the same name as the film. Jordan Belfort was a smart and cunning man who could talk his way into almost anything he wanted. This talent, and of course the money, led Belfort to become a genius stockbroker in none other than New York City. Belfort had a dream in me… middle of the card… and Jordan, Leonardo Dicaprio, will not give himself over to his partner and rather he will give himself up to every single other partner he had. The Bonfire of the Vanities and "The Wolf On Wall Street" are both fantastic takes on the corruption of the 1% of New York's elite. Both show the lack of human nature in general when one is successful, and the ups and downs that come with being a “master of the universe”. It's a fantastic spotlight that doesn't get shown very often, and it deals with the theme of rich people abusing money and everyone around them in the process. The movie and the book had many similarities, the writing style of the book compared to the screenplay, the successful young main character, etc. and also many differences, the content of racism, the excessive abundance of drug and sex parties in the film. , etc. However, both tell a story of corruption and greed, and do it well.
